Question

Two numbers are in the ratio of 4 to 7. Their sum is 55. What are the two numbers?

Answer 1

Answer: 20:35

Explanation:

4*5 = 20

7*5= 35

35+25 = 55

Answer 2

Add the ratios: 4+7 = 11

Divide the number by that:

55/11 = 5

Multiply each ratio by that:

4 * 5 = 20

7 * 5 = 35

The two numbers are 20 and 35
